Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, in a speech delivered on Tuesday in Georgia, criticized the Biden administration's approach to the ongoing Ukraine war.

Trump argued that the United States needs to end its involvement in the war, claiming that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris lack a viable exit strategy.

"Biden and Kamala got us into this war in Ukraine, and now they can't get us out. They can't get us out," Trump stated, emphasizing his belief that the current administration had failed in its efforts to manage US engagement in the war.

While the US has not publically deployed troops to Ukraine, it has provided billions of dollars in military and humanitarian aid to support the country's defense against Russia.

Trump also highlighted his own plan to resolve the conflict if he were elected president, asserting that he could bring about a swift resolution. 

"I think that we're stuck in that war unless I'm president. I'll get it done. I'll get it negotiated, I'll get out. We gotta get out," he proclaimed. He further criticized Biden's stance, quoting the president as saying, "We will not leave until we win."

Trump's comments reflect his long-standing position on reducing US involvement in foreign conflicts, as he continues to campaign for the 2024 Republican nomination.

Zelensky thinks Trump's promises as unrealistic

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has dismissed US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s promise to immediately end the war with Russia, describing it as typical election rhetoric unlikely to come to fruition.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that if he returns to the White House, he would secure a peace deal between Moscow and Kiev "within 24 hours."

"Just get it done. All right. Negotiate a deal," Trump said during last week’s presidential debate with his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.

Harris responded by accusing Trump of planning to "just give up" on Ukraine, and she proceeded to highlight her own efforts to secure military support for Ukraine.

In an interview with CNN’s "Fareed Zakaria GPS" on Sunday, Zelensky downplayed Trump’s statements, describing them as typical election rhetoric that may not be realistic.

"My position is that election rhetoric is often just that—rhetoric," he said.

"While acknowledging that Trump’s comments "can make us, all our people nervous," the Ukranian president noted that a recent conversation with the former president had conveyed a different sentiment.

"I spoke with Donald Trump, and he expressed strong support during our call," he told Zakaria.
